Stingray69 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Thats really cool man! I plan on getting the same trailer for my pro mod nova and a drag strip diorama. Mine will be towed by a 64 Chevy. Glad to see yours went together well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ismaelg Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Ken, that is awesome! Never thought that trailer was that big. All it needs is a racing Corvette :wink: Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayVee Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Great looking project! I like the weathering on the inside of trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Thanks for all the kind words guys , it was a long fun build I want to do a smaller landscaper version . have to see what kind of lawn mowers etc. are available, I know I've seen 'em..... There's a pair of Kubotas (A ZTR and a tractor) and Spec Cast has a brand new JD Z series tractor. There's also a Kubota tractor with front and rear buckets and a Kubota ATV/utility truck. There's also a few of the compact excavators (Kubota and Bobcat) plus at least two Bobcats (one with wheels, one with tracks). If you need pics. of the above, say the word. I have most of them. My lawn service company will eventually have an open trailer. More fun to show off the toys that way. Very nice job BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGTRUCK Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Wow thats super John , if you can post the smallest ones I can get an idea of what to look for.........thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 The smallest you say? Ok. We'll start with the Kubotas. T1870 lawn tractor. Steering positionable and the hood opens. Nicely detailed diesel under that hood and it's more tractor than I drive at work. ZD28 ZTR (Zero Turn Radius). Front wheels "steer" and the engine cover opens to reveal a nicely detailed diesel. BX22 Compact diesel 4x4 tractor with LA210 bucket loader and BT600 backhoe. EVERYTHING is positionable. The hood opens too. RTV900 Utility Vehicle. Most everything is positionable on this one too. Steering, "hood", dump bed dumps, roof is removable. All of them are top quality and can be found on eBay. That's where I got mine and expect to pay about $25 each. There's 2 compact excavators in the series which I haven't got yet. Basically, I can decide which of the two I want/need. I want the smallest of the two but can't figure out which that is. There's also a 30 or 40 hp tractor in the series. Same price range. I'll show you some of the Bobcats tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Aw heck. Seeing as I'm signed in to Fotki..... Ertl's Bobcat model 325 compact excavator. Again, most everything is positionable. Not the same quality as the Kubotas but still must haves in my book. Bobcat S250 skid loader. Even has the safety bar/belt in the "cockpit". Bobcat T200 skid loader. It's been awhile but I think I paid about $20 each for the Bobcats. As I Said before, not the same quality but still gotta haves for me. My John Deere X series tractor isn't here yet. I'll show you that once it gets here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purvissp Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Those are some amazingly realistic looking builds. BT, I really like your detail, even the inside trailer walls look like it has been used and things rubbed against them. Can Am, if that figure was not in the photo I would have thought these were advertising photos of the real equipment. Very, very nice builds.

Jairus Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Steve, I don't think he built them... They were purchased that way. Little Chinese girls built them most likely But, they do look pretty neat none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey429 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Ahhh...what a Hummer should be used for, working. And thanks to John, I see I'm not the only one that collects Bobcats . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure aren't. Still debating whether if I need/want the Versahandler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey429 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I have one of those VersaHandlers, and I reallly like it. It looks good with a junker or an engine on the forks. Not sure if this thing could actually pick up a car, but I know my Caterpillar IT18F will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGTRUCK Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 Thanks John, those are cool . I got to have them all . Pretty good detail on those Kabutas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 The truck and tractor are here. Pics. have been taken and uploaded but Fotki don't want me to share right now. I'll post 'em shortly. I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Here's the little Deere. Notice how they cut corners on the steering wheel. I would have expected the X series to dwarf the Kubota but it's the other way around. I'm thinking someone's scales/sizes are mixed up. I've sat on an X series and it's bigger than it shows here. The Deere fits perfectly in the bed. The Kubota doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey429 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Bigtruck, If you're looking for compact equipment, here are some of the Bobcats that have been avaliable over time. Many of these are discontinued, but most can be found on ebay. I think the oldest one I have in the collection there is from roughly 1998. http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f181/Cas...ruction/Bobcat/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
